IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36901 Posts	Posted 01/04/2013 3:28 pm I bought this coin in lot of foreign about 10 years ago. It's IDed on the envelope as Antiochus I 280-261 B.C.. Can anyone give me any more information than that? Size is about .60 inches dia and it appaers to be brass or bronze.

Windchild Pillar of the Community Canada 1411 Posts	Posted 01/04/2013 3:42 pm I'd say Seleucid (of which Antiochus I was a ruler) and bronze... Look up the Seleucid Kingdom for more information on the ruler and the kingdom that issued this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 01/04/2013 3:49 pm I'm not a 100%, but I believe it might be: SC 351 Antiochos I AE 15. Head of Antiochus right / Rx: Apollo seated left on omphalos, control in left field.http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/gree...I/SC_351.jpg Report this Post to the Staff
Gil-galad Pillar of the Community United States 2044 Posts	Posted 01/04/2013 4:01 pm Just so you know, coins are not usually measured by inches. By millimeters. When I first started collecting, I got a cheap but decent quality digital caliper from ebay. I suggest that you get one as well. It's up to you, of course. I also have a digital scale for weighing coins. That's a nice coin! Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36901 Posts	Posted 01/04/2013 5:10 pm Metric calipers now on my list of things to get. Bing, that SC351 looks real close to what I have. Some differences on the reverse but I think that might be it. Windchild I am headed to google to see what I can find out about Seleucid Kingdom. Been spending a lot of time lately re learning all my high school ancient history lessons. When I bought this coin in the foreign lot, I allowed $5 for this piece. Report this Post to the Staff
